Yes.

I guess it is plasterboard jointing tape. I’d trim the most jagged bits, then fill over the rest.

Still not very accurate though.

You’ve asked this before: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/fairy-lights-danger.621535/

They might kinda work for something like CCTV, but I’d be amazed if they worked for a TV aerial signal. (If you do try, please let us know what happens!)

Nope. Applying cream to the walls will not provide any insulation. Not much insulation, unless it is a specific insulating render with tiny glass beads in it or something. You need to determine whether (a) the walls are cold, resulting in condensation, or (b) the walls are leaking water. Or...

No smell of gas when you open the dishwasher? :) My guess: they turned off the water when they changed the boiler, and when they turned it back on they opened the valve further than it had been before. Now your water flow rate is a bit higher. Or: just a coincidence.

Is that definitely how it is supposed to be fixed to the wall? It could end up hanging by the cable, which would not be great even without the wago issue. Where did you get the mirror?

Please tell us how you found this person. Do they claim to belong to any of the “competent” schemes? Did they put any of the things you’ve written above in writing?

Does it simply lift off, or is a tool needed? Why? Existing wire is fine.

Do what the installers tell you to do.
